IMPROVEMENT IN ATTACHING HANDLES TO HOSE.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 209,859, dated November12, 1878 application led October 31, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, OoRNELrUs CALLAHAN, of Chelsea, in the county ofSuiolk,- in the State of Massachusetts, have invented certainImprovements in Attaching Handles to Hose; and I hereby declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, making part of thisspeciiication, in which- Figure 1 is a side view of' a piece of hosewith my invention shown. Fig. 2 is aV plan view of a piece of hose withthe outer covering cut away to show the fastening. Fig. 3 is alongitudinal sectional view of the saine.

Heretofore in applying handles to hose, when such handles have beenfastened by rivets, the rivets have been entered from the inside of thehose, and passingentirely through the body of the hose. This mode offastening is open to the serious objections, rst, that theluggin g onthe hose to move it, and the consequent strain, ruptures the rubberlining, secondly, the sulphur 1n the rubber attacks and corrodes therivets.

The object of my invention is to overcome these difficulties, and itconsists in a duplex tex tilefabric hose, rubber-lined, provided with`handles secured byvrivets and a plate to the outer tube, and notpenetrating the inner tube or rubber lining in any way.

In order that those skilled in the art may make and use my invention, Iwill proceed t0 describe the manner in which I have carried it out.

In the said drawings, Fig. 1 shows a hose composed of an outer textiletube, A, an inner textile tube, B, and a rubber lining, C. A

handle, of leather or other desirable material, D, is secured to theouter tube, A, (see Fig. 3,) by inserting between tubes A and B a plate,a., through which the rivets are inserted, and thence passoutwardthrough tube A. Through the ends of the handle D washers are applied, asseen at i, and the ends n n of the rivets upset, so as to secure thehandle firmly to the outer tube. f

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

The plate a, inserted between the outer and inner textile fabrics, A B,in combination with the handle D and rivets n, whereby the piercing ofthe water-proof coating C is avoided, substantially as set forth.

CORNELIUS GALLAHAN.
